The Holy Matrimony of Cheetos and Doritos Is Upon Us

Cheetos and Doritos have put away their differences (cylindrical versus triangular, puff versus chip, neon orange versus…not-quite-so-neon orange) and joined forces to become Choritos, aka Flamin Hot Cheetos and Dinamita Chile Limon Doritos. Together at last. In one bag.

“The combination of crunchy textures and explosive flavors will detonate your senses!” Frito-Lay boasts. And it’s true! These things will obliterate your tastebuds. Except for the ones that can taste pain. And lime.

But first. You must have questions. Like, “How Cheeto-y are the Cheetos? And, how Dorito-y are the Doritos?”

Well, as in in any relationship, both parties have had to make some…compromises. The most notable one being the actual shape of the Doritos. They’re rolled up! Like Dorito burritos. More Cheeto-like, essentially.

And while Chester Cheeto gets top billing on the bag, the Cheetos have lost some of their Cheeto-ness. They seem depleted, reluctantly wearing Doritos’ cloak of lime and jalepeno dust. (Speaking of the dust, it’s red -- not orange.)

Cheetos and Doritos are best when they can shine as individuals -- not partners -- but far as innovations in snack foods go, this one is definitely above Cheeto Juice with Mountain Dew Base, dreamed up by these delightful YouTube bros. (“I am at war within myself,” one says, after tasting it.)
